Princess Eugenie has become engaged to her long-term boyfriend Jack Brooksbank!

There's set to be a second royal wedding in 2018 as it has been announced that Princess Eugenie is engaged to her boyfriend of several years Jack Brooksbank.

The happy news was announced via a statement from Buckingham Palace, which read: "The Duke and Duchess of York are delighted to announced the engagement of Princess Eugenie to Mr Jack Brooksbank."

Janina Gavankar

Fellow actress Janina Gavankar has known Meghan for 15 years, with the Suits star recently gushing about their friendship in an Instagram post that read: 'Couldn't be prouder of how far we've come, and couldn't be more grateful for being able to share every step of it with you.' As a long-term pal and as someone in the same industry as her, she's got a good chance of being in the bridal party.

As the niece of Prince Harry, it would be a pretty adorable touch if Princess Charlotte was included in the bridal party. After all, she was part of her aunt Pippa Middleton's wedding earlier this year to James Middleton, so it's not like she hasn't had any practice.

As well as being her unofficial stylist, Jessica Mulroney is also one of Meghan's closest friends, after the two met when the actress relocated to Toronto to begin filming Suits. She is heavily present on Meghan's Instagram account, as is her daughter, Ivy, so we think it's highly likely that she'll have a role.

The front-runner for maid of honour is almost certainly Lindsay Roth, who chose Meghan for the same role at her own wedding last August. The Suits actress and producer and author have been friends for 15 years, with Lindsay recently telling People magazine that Meghan is 'the same girl I met years ago'. The two met at a Toni Morrison literature class during their first year of college at Northwestern University.

Someone with an outside shot at being Meghan's bridesmaid is tennis ace Serena Williams. Meghan and the Wimbledon-champion have been friends since 2014 when they met at a charity football game. Despite their reported closeness, Meghan didn't attend Serena's own nuptials earlier this year, so it might be that she doesn't have a role at the royal wedding.

Another actress that Meghan is good friends with is Priyanka Chopra, who she met at a dinner celebrating women in Hollywood a few years ago. After Vanity Fair ran their cover story with Meghan pegged to her relationship with Prince Harry, Priyanka defended her friend, saying she was more than just 'Harry's girlfriend'.

The statement continued: "Her Royal Highness and Mr Brooksbank became engaged in Nicaragua earlier this month."

The statement also revealed that the couple would be tying the knot at the same venue as Princess Eugenie's cousin, Prince Harry: "The wedding will take place in the Autumn of 2018 at St George's Chapel in Windsor, with further details to be announced in due course."

Prince Harry, of course, is due to marry his fiancée Meghan Markle at Windsor's St George's Chapel in May.

Clearly, it's the place to be for royals!

The Princess met Mr Brooksbank, who is the manager of exclusive London club Mahiki, while skiing in Verbier six years ago.

In line with royal traditions, Eugenie will keep her royal title when she marries and can choose to take his surname if she wishes.

Eugenie is the youngest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York and sister to Princess Beatrice.

She is reportedly "firm friends" with Prince Harry's bride-to-be, Meghan Markle.

Congratulations!
